Seedling - Tomato - Rutgers

The Rutgers tomato, developed in 1934 by Rutgers University and Campbell’s Soup, is a legendary, high-flavor heirloom variety known for its classic red, meaty, and crack-resistant fruit. As a, determinate plant, it was once the world's most popular tomato, comprising 60% of commercial sales before losing popularity in the 1960s to firmer hybrids suited for machine picking.
